    Had something similar happen. After work I lit up a blunt before driving home, and pulled up next to my manager at a red light as he was lighting his.

    It ended up saving my ass, because I cut my thumb open a month later, and he saw me in the break room with a wad of bloody paper towels on it.

    Instead of starting the workplace injury crap that would have resulted in a drug test, he just said, “got yourself a bit of a paper cut, huh?”

    The cut was 100% my fault for using a box cutter stupidly, and wasn’t bad enough to need medical attention.

      Glad to hear it went fine. Sad to hear that you could not get medical attention without risking your livelyhood. That is so fucked up 😢

    We don’t have this problem in West Europe, you can by alcohol in any grocery store.

    Along side your 20-pack of first price beer, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of red wine, you add a cucumber and a box of condoms to make it less awkward. People then assume you’re going to have a fun party and definitely not get shit faced on your own 👍

      I brew my own mead, so I am the guy walking out of Lidl with 20 jars of all their runny honey. Set can work if heated to melt it but it’s more effort.

      Alcohol regulation varies from state to state. You can get beer and wine in grocery stores in most states. For liquor, it’s a little less than half of them.

    My former boss had trouble buying beer sometimes because he’s short and thin and made the mistake of going with another coworker who permanently looks under eighteen years old. He said he ain’t making that mistake again.

    Meanwhile, during covid, my method of verifying the age was pulling the mask down.

    We also got thoroughly blazed all together at multiple times, locations, and various configurations of other coworkers and drugs of choice. We were in programming.
